Two hot new additions are joining the
Vauxhall LCV line-up, bringing new levels of stylish design and driver
appeal to the commercial vehicle market.
With high-performance, fuel-efficient
diesel engines and sports-themed styling features, the Astravan Sportive
SE and Corsavan Sportive join the line-up by popular demand, after first
being exhibited in concept form at this year’s Commercial Vehicle Show
at the NEC, Birmingham.
The newcomers are the latest in a
long-line of load-loving, road-loving vans – a niche which Vauxhall
successfully carved out for itself in 2001 with the introduction of the
original Astravan Sportive.
Priced at only £14,780 ex VAT, the
flagship Astravan Sportive SE comes with 17-inch, 10-spoke alloy wheels,
a full body styling pack, front fog lamps and a rear roof spoiler,
making it the ideal choice for small business users who want a van that
projects a powerful image of their company, as well as those who love
driving.
Powered by a 1.9-litre 150PS
common-rail diesel engine mated to a six-speed manual gearbox, the
Sportive SE enjoys performance to match that of Vauxhall’s more sporting
car models, while the cabin is designed to offer the best in
long-distance driver comfort, with sculpted, ergonomically designed
sports seats. To complete the performance theme, the Sportive SE rides
on lowered sports suspension, designed to deliver optimum stability in
all conditions as well as enhance the van’s appearance.
Also joining the Vauxhall LCV line up
is a Sportive variant of the popular New Corsavan, launched earlier this
year. Powered by a 90PS derivative of GM’s incredibly fuel-efficient
1.3-litre CDTi engine, the Corsavan Sportive comes with a six-speed
manual gearbox as standard.
The already attractive body gets
further enhancements in the form of a styling pack, which includes
body-coloured side mouldings, front fog lights, a sports exhaust
tailpipe and smart 15-inch alloy wheels. Other features over and above
the standard Corsavan specification include heated, body-coloured door
mirrors, sports instruments, air conditioning, electric windows and
sports seats. New Corsavan Sportive is priced at £10,380 ex VAT.
